While Izumo-class carrier has the length 814 feet similar to USS Wasp ( 844 feet ), the F35B has amazing short take off ( less than 550 feet ) and provide vertical landing ability ( and vertical take off ) too.
How they could achieved that amazing result? F-35B has a powerful, reliable engine.
It takes few sec, the proven powerful P&W F135-PW-600 engine already launched a F-35B into the sky without any external support from a flat-top like Izumo-class.
F35-B on Izumo class would be seen as soon as the first F35Bs delivered to Japan. They could accommodate 12 F35-B on each Izumo ( USS Wasp could provide room for 20 F-35B )
